*Grabs ideas from the other suggestion thread* Unfortunately, I am unable to record and submit stuff at this time, partly due to a lack of equipment, and partly due to lack of knowledge. I could probably get equipment together soon, so if someone tells me how, I can probably do stuff myself. Otherwise, I'm just submitting ideas for others to run.

EDIT : I think I now have the tools required to put stuff together, so I might look into submitting something at some point, maybe.

ANOTHER EDIT : I am relatively confident that I can put together my own stuff now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first thought I have is a competitive news coverage segment. The purpose of this would be to cover various competitions taking place around the ZU forums. There would be a short bit at the front for updates on the smaller contests from the Clan Arena, such as the guess that Zelda character, and guess the pokemon threads. This short section would comprise a quick update on the scores of each clan in the major threads, and a couple of points of interest if there are any. This section would then go on to add up the total of all the current arena threads and state which clan is ahead overall. It would also have quick updates on anything else small and competitive happening around ZU.

The main body of the segment would be a report of sorts on a couple of the major competitions happening around ZU. For example, when the SSBB tournament being discussed gets going, there might be a couple reports on that. BA tournaments could also be covered here, along with anything of a competitive nature. This segment would be run as a reoccuring segment, with a variable length depending on available material. If there isn't much going on in the way of competition, it may well become a simple update on the Clan Arena.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second concept I have come up with is a simple reading section. Here, a small excerpt from a ZU fanfic, character fiction, BA battle, or anything else around of a literary nature. Probably lasting about 4 minutes, maybe less, this segment would probably run every week.

The piece to be read would be decided by submission; people would send PM's to the runner of the segment asking for their work to be read, and the decision would be at random. It may have to be decided by an impartial someone. After the reading, there would be a quick reference to the location of the piece, so people could go and find and read the rest of it, if it wasn't read in it's entirety.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My last idea is a section based on gaming news. The first bit would be a good, journalism-based news section, where a small team of reporters would search the internet and other places for reliable gaming news, and have it reported in a professional fashion.

In contrast, the second bit will be pretty much a hearsay type thing. This section is where all the gaming speculation, rumors, and other entirely unofficial stuff goes. People can send in things they've heard or seen that's related to gaming, and have it possibly chosen for this section. This segment can be run each week also, given the amount of gaming news available.
